That's interesting. I do not have a formal BPD diagnosis, but awhile ago had a diagnosis that included "BPD traits". And, I'm the same way... very hard time recalling/describing people.

And, absolutely about my T. I've been seeing him since this summer (several months, every other week) - and just this week I was shocked to notice he had like a whole beard thing going on. I didn't say anything, but I was truly *surprised*. I can't necessarily picture *him* when I'm not there, but I can sometimes picture his picture from his website... but somehow the facial hair still really surprised me. Maybe something else changed... he mentioned that he doesn't wear suits (he had on a sweater), and I thought - "huh? I thought you were ALWAYS in a suit, like every session so far?"

It's confusing. But, at this point, I have enough other stuff to try to figure out in sessions, that it's not really important enough to bring up!

(Oh, and I assumed it had more to do with being a strong "intuitive/N" in the Meyers-Briggs world. I always test as a super-high N, meaning I'm very much in my head/imagination/hypothetical, and tend to be very bad at observing/sensing the actual physical reality that surrounds me. I miss alot!)
